Strengths: Physically strong and agile. Secretive and capable of sudden attack. Weaknesses: The Kraken is not immortal and can be killed.
Krakens live for many centuries, reaching maturity around 200 years and a state of advanced age around 3000. Past this, it is unknown how long krakens may live, although it is rumored the oldest Elder Krakens rival even the aboleths in their age.
The Kraken, in Greek Mythology, is a sea monster of tremendous size and strength. It was born from the titans Oceanus and Ceto, both entities of the sea. Its tentacles are large enough to be able to pull entire ships under the water and destroy cities with relative ease.
The kraken's more ancient origins are in Nordic folklore. The earliest written reference to the kraken goes all the way back to 1180, according to paleontologist Rodrigo Brincalepe Salvador, who describes the mythical sea monster's history in the Conversation.
Kraken's weakness is lightning. If you set up a weapon with a lightning attribute as a special effect or a mage-derived job, you can effectively damage it.
To defeat the Kraken, enough tentacles must be destroyed depending on ship type, with larger ships requiring more damage to destroy a tentacle and more tentacles destroyed to complete the event. If the crew can survive long enough the Kraken will also retreat.
The cause of the Kraken's death is unknown, though it is suggested that Davy Jones, under orders of Lord Cutler Beckett, killed the monster or it may have been hunted down by a group of EITC soldiers.
The Real World Origins of the Kraken. Unlike other cryptids which exist only in our imaginations even today, the kraken had the benefit of being inspired by something which actually exists. In 1857, the giant squid was classified as a real living species for the first time, thanks to examinations of their beaks.
Perseus kills Medusa to help him kill the Kraken. Perseus kills the Kraken using Medusa's head.
In Greek mythology, Zeus is not killed at all. Zeus is king of the Greek gods and goddesses, a role he takes on after defeating his own father.
Not much is known about the Old Mother's history, but myths and legends provided by Sudds in the Stars of a Thief Tall Tale as well as the Athena's Fortune novel suggest that she ruled the waves well before the arrival of the Ancients. She is the mother of all Krakens, living and dead, and once terrorized the Merfolk.
But as much as sailors love a good sea monster, modern science has shown us that there is no octopus big enough to drag down a ship. There is, however, a giant squid capable of the feat. Enter the unsettling reality that is Architeuthis dux.
Genetics and Reproduction. New Krakens are born every few decades and take several decades to grow into fully mature creatures. Krakens reproduce sexually and lay eggs.
The biggest giant squid ever found was almost 43 feet (13 m) long, including its tentacles — that's about as long as a semi-trailer.
The Giant Kraken can eat any sort of fish that it wraps its tentacles around. They prefer harder creatures, crab-like animals in which they use their sharp beak to shatter to pieces. Kraken have a special salivary gland in which it can poison its meal with venom.
The Kraken has a long spiked tail. Kraken can generate electricity from the two tentacle-like appendages on its back, and uses these for combat and flight. When gliding, it spreads its wings and creates an electrical field that keeps it bouyant. Kraken will leave visible marks on the ground over which it flies.
Perhaps the most famous mythical representation of the octopus is the Kraken. It's a legendary, giant cephalopod-like sea monster originating from Scandinavian folklore. According to the Norse sagas, the Kraken dwells off the coasts of Norway and Greenland and terrorizes nearby sailors.
Dubbed the Kraken after the mythical, squid-like sea monster immortalized on film and in literature, the vessel was sunk 67 miles off the coast of Galveston to create a new artificial reef.
Godzilla may have the superior intelligence, hax, and a stronger form, and he may have much more feats onscreen, but in terms of physicality itself, the Kraken... is simply far too powerful.
In these legends, the Kraken normally lived at great depths, but have been sighted at the surface and have reportedly attacked ships. The Kraken's many tentacles could reach to the top of a ship's mainmast and could without any great effort capsize a fully-rigged vessel.
-CANNONS; The job of the cannons is to damage the Kraken by shooting the tentacles. 2-4 well placed cannons will send the tentacle back under water. (you can also do this with Flintlok, EoR and Blunderbuss.)
